CB252 Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 The whole thing is dead from the neck down. The most important thing is ready safety. Which of course it isnt, the fans are the most important thing. Their failure to recognise that is why there isnt any of them left. Last one out switch off the lights.

Also for Jordan he needs to consider that he has the British U21 Championship Final on Wednesday & has an excellent chance of making the rostrum. Get your facts right, it was Redcar who made him go to the hospital on Saturday in Redcar ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 I don't know how much longer British Speedway can survive. Once the cost of living energy bills hit I think that'll put an end to Speedway as most fans who attend Speedway only have a pension to live off. Situations like today will just turn them away for good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Last week we had a club setting fire to straw in the hope they could dry the track, minutes later the fire brigade arrive, result meeting off. Now this. I like Peterborough as a club and have always enjoyed my trips to the EoES but you do wonder just how long the club can survive for.

Shame the Ipswich and Belle Vue fans arnt here to sort it out with all there expertise and know how. If this tyre problem has been causing problems for 2 years as Carl Johnson suggests then the riders need to be refusing to ride until it’s sorted. Rider safety obviously. As Sheffield are involved it I'd obviously their fault 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehone Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 what if there weren't any more new tyres there? i think meetings being called off early because they worry about the crowd level could be a thing of the past, there won't be any crowd to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
